What does KFC say...

SUSTAINABILITY
We don't just set high standards for our chicken; the KFC UK and Ireland Sourcing
Code of Practice helps us responsibly manage our whole supply chain.
Constructing
with sustainable
materials.
Apple Inc.
and Mac
Learning's from our new Eco Stores are helping us to minimise the resources we use in all new
restaurant builds and remodels. All our timber is FSC certified and wherever possible we use recycled
hardcore aggregates, damp–proofing materials and concrete with recycled fly ash. Overall, we have
reduced CO2 from construction materials by 25% per tonne and our on-site management means less
than 5% of construction waste is sent to landfill
RECYCLING
Our target is zero waste to landfill by the end of 2015
across our whole business from construction to food and
packaging.
Heading towards zero landfill.
We're serious about achieving zero waste and always look for ways to make this a reality. During
construction of new restaurants our on-site waste management means less than 5% of waste is sent to
landfill. All of our packaging is sustainably sourced and wherever we can we will used recycled
materials. Just by switching our tray liners to 100% recycled paper we saved 340 tonnes of wood fiber, 207
tonnes of land waste and 5.7 million litres of water.
Making it easier for you to be eco-friendly too.
All KFC UKI packaging is either recycled or from sustainable sources. We removed the plastic coating from
our iconic buckets, our tray liners are made from 100% recyclable Cyrus Paper and our Mini Fillet Burgers
now have paper wrappers so are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. We are working on alternatives to
non-recyclable products - foil lids on sauce bottles and sauce canisters and are investigating recyclable
plastic pots for our beans and gravy.
FUELLING THE FUTURE
Not only does our food fuel you, 100% of our used cooking oil is recycled into biodiesel, and could end up
being used to heat homes in winter—or even as fuel for planes, trains, and automobiles.
